What it does

Microsoft Docs is an agent skill from microsoft/ai-agents-for-beginners, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Mag-query sa opisyal na dokumentasyon ng Microsoft upang hanapin ang mga konsepto, tutorial, at mga halimbawa ng code sa iba't ibang serbisyo tulad ng Azure, .NET, Agent Framework, Aspire, VS Code, GitHub, at iba pa. Ginagamit ang Microsoft Learn MCP bilang default, kasama ang Context7 at Aspire MCP para sa nilalamang nasa labas ng learn.microsoft.com.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Building AI agents and MCP servers. It works with Visual Studio Code, Model Context Protocol, Microsoft Azure and GitHub. The repository describes itself as: 18 Lessons to Get Started Building AI Agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Building AI agents
  • Tasks that involve MCP servers

Example prompts

  • “/microsoft-docs”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Tawagan ang mcp_context7_resolve-library-id gamit ang pangalan ng teknolohiya
  2. Tawagan ang mcp_context7_query-docs gamit ang nakuha na library ID at isang tiyak na query

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 25b7985. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com
    • davidpine.dev

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Microsoft Docs loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 686 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~92
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Mag-query sa opisyal na dokumentasyon ng Microsoft upang hanapin ang mga konsepto, tutorial, at mga halimbawa ng code sa iba't ibang serbisyo tulad ng Azure, .NET, Agent Framework, Aspire, VS Code, GitHub, at iba pa. Ginagamit ang Microsoft Learn MCP bilang default, kasama ang Context7 at Aspire MCP para sa nilalamang nasa labas ng learn.microsoft.com.

Microsoft Docs

Kasanayan sa pananaliksik para sa ekosistema ng teknolohiyang Microsoft. Saklaw ang learn.microsoft.com at dokumentasyong nasa labas nito (VS Code, GitHub, Aspire, Agent Framework repos).


Default: Microsoft Learn MCP

Gamitin ang mga tool na ito para sa everything on learn.microsoft.com — Azure, .NET, M365, Power Platform, Agent Framework, Semantic Kernel, Windows, at iba pa. Ito ang pangunahing tool para sa karamihan ng mga tanong tungkol sa dokumentasyon ng Microsoft.

ToolLayunin
microsoft_docs_searchMaghanap sa learn.microsoft.com — mga konsepto, gabay, tutorial, konfigurasyon
microsoft_code_sample_searchHanapin ang mga gumaganang snippet ng code mula sa mga dokumento ng Learn. Ibigay ang language (python, csharp, etc.) para sa pinakamahusay na resulta
microsoft_docs_fetchKunin ang buong nilalaman ng pahina mula sa isang partikular na URL (kapag hindi sapat ang mga excerpt mula sa paghahanap)

Gamitin ang microsoft_docs_fetch pagkatapos mag-search kapag kailangan mo ng kumpletong tutorial, lahat ng opsyon ng konfigurasyon, o kapag ang mga excerpt mula sa paghahanap ay pinutol.


Exceptions: When to Use Other Tools

Ang mga sumusunod na kategorya ay nasa labas ng learn.microsoft.com. Gamitin ang tinukoy na tool sa halip.

.NET Aspire — Use Aspire MCP Server (preferred) or Context7

Ang mga dokumento ng Aspire ay nasa aspire.dev, hindi sa Learn. Ang pinakamainam na tool ay depende sa iyong Aspire CLI na bersyon:

CLI 13.2+ (inirerekomenda) — Kasama sa Aspire MCP server ang mga built-in na tool sa paghahanap ng docs:

MCP ToolPaglalarawan
list_docsNililista ang lahat ng magagamit na dokumentasyon mula sa aspire.dev
search_docsLexical search na may bigat sa buong nilalaman ng aspire.dev
get_docKukunin ang isang partikular na dokumento ayon sa slug

Kasama ang mga ito sa Aspire CLI 13.2 (PR #14028). Upang i-update: aspire update --self --channel daily. Sanggunian: https://davidpine.dev/posts/aspire-docs-mcp-tools/

CLI 13.1 — Nagbibigay ang MCP server ng integration lookup (list_integrations, get_integration_docs) pero hindi ng paghahanap ng docs. Gamitin ang Context7 bilang fallback:

Library IDGamit para sa
/microsoft/aspire.devPangunahing — mga gabay, integrasyon, sanggunian ng CLI, deployment
/dotnet/aspirePinagmulan ng runtime — API internals, detalye ng implementasyon
/communitytoolkit/aspireMga integrasyon ng komunidad — Go, Java, Node.js, Ollama
VS Code — Use Context7

Ang mga dokumento ng VS Code ay nasa code.visualstudio.com, hindi sa Learn.

Library IDGamit para sa
/websites/code_visualstudioMga dokumento ng user — mga setting, tampok, debugging, remote dev
/websites/code_visualstudio_apiAPI ng Extension — webviews, TreeViews, commands, contribution points
GitHub — Use Context7

Ang mga dokumento ng GitHub ay nasa docs.github.com at cli.github.com.

Library IDGamit para sa
/websites/github_enActions, API, repos, security, admin, Copilot
/websites/cli_githubMga command at flag ng GitHub CLI (gh)
Show full SKILL.md (286 more words)Show less
Agent Framework — Use Learn MCP + Context7

Ang mga tutorial ng Agent Framework ay nasa learn.microsoft.com (gamitin ang microsoft_docs_search), ngunit ang GitHub repo ay may detalye sa antas ng API na madalas na nauunang nailathala kaysa sa mga publikadong dokumento — partikular ang DevUI REST API reference, mga opsyon ng CLI, at integrasyon ng .NET.

Library IDGamit para sa
/websites/learn_microsoft_en-us_agent-frameworkMga tutorial — gabay sa DevUI, tracing, orchestration ng workflow
/microsoft/agent-frameworkDetalye ng API — DevUI REST endpoints, CLI flags, auth, .NET AddDevUI/MapDevUI

DevUI tip: I-query ang source ng website ng Learn para sa mga how-to guide, pagkatapos ang source ng repo para sa mga API-level na detalye (endpoint schemas, proxy config, auth tokens).


Context7 Setup

Para sa anumang query sa Context7, i-resolve muna ang library ID (isang beses kada session):

  1. Tawagan ang mcp_context7_resolve-library-id gamit ang pangalan ng teknolohiya
  2. Tawagan ang mcp_context7_query-docs gamit ang nakuha na library ID at isang tiyak na query

Writing Effective Queries

Maging tiyak — isama ang bersyon, layunin, at wika:

# ❌ Too broad
"Azure Functions"
"agent framework"

# ✅ Specific
"Azure Functions Python v2 programming model"
"Cosmos DB partition key design best practices"
"GitHub Actions workflow_dispatch inputs matrix strategy"
"Aspire AddUvicornApp Python FastAPI integration"
"DevUI serve agents tracing OpenTelemetry directory discovery"
"Agent Framework workflow conditional edges branching handoff"

Isama ang konteksto:

  • Bersyon kapag may kaugnayan (.NET 8, Aspire 13, VS Code 1.96)
  • Layunin ng gawain (quickstart, tutorial, overview, limits, API reference)
  • Wika para sa polyglot na dokumentasyon (Python, TypeScript, C#)
